Serpentine Linesby Serhiy GrabarchukWhich three (and only three!) serpentine lines out of the eight (A-H) shown above will give you (when you stack them together) the full grid like that shown in the sample
on the left?

You may rotate each serpentine line as you like, but you
can't overturn (reflect) it.

The light grid shown in the midst of the eight serpentine lines is for stacking of your candidate lines up. To move a serpentine line - drag it, to rotate - click it.

When you solve the puzzle correctly, a congratulation message with a password
will be displayed.

Finally, we can propose this contest's
results and some details about the solution. With this
Mini-Contest 24 is finished. And, with our deep regret, we must say that
it was our last Mini-Contest in this series. Let's hope one day we can
continue them.

It was our twenty-fourth Mini-Contest. We were planning to finish it at
the end of year 2002, but because of some technical and other reasons it
had to remain without our touch for long six months. We apologize for
this, and appreciate your patience.

Because of the specific situation with this Mini-Contest we've decided to
add to the winners' list also those solvers' names who sent the right
answers after the deadline. We hope every winner can accept this little
exception, and we're grateful to you for your understanding.

It was our third Mini-Contest with the
PuzzleCLUB
sector, and you, our fellow visitors, were extremely active. Again we have
the site's record in the right answers to our Mini-Contests. We thank you
for this, and at the moment we'd like to say: "Stick With Us! Keep
Puzzling!"

Before we give the answer, we'd like to
propose this puzzle as our Mini-Contest 24 to all the visitors of
our site.

Your messages with answers must be received by
December 22, 2002.

The names of the solvers who send us the correct solution will be
posted here and at the
Puzzle Help section.
